ST. LOUIS, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Now through May 15, Missouri residents may select Ambetter from Home State Health for healthcare coverage in 92 counties through the Health Insurance Marketplace. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a special enrollment period (SEP) for individuals and families to apply and enroll for the coverage they need. As the COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges, Home State Health continues to offer a variety of health insurance offerings that are among the most affordable in the state.

"We know many Americans are struggling amidst the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, and getting covered has never been more important," said Nathan Landsbaum, President and CEO, Home State Health. "Ambetter from Home State Health has the experience and resources to provide comprehensive quality care to people when it matters most, and we're pleased to offer coverage options that provide peace of mind during this special enrollment period."
